In a similar vein, there is also a 4K cinematics pack, which ups the pre-rendered cutscene resolution from 1080p to 4K, but I've struggled to get this installed.

Two of us on RPS found that clicking the button didn't seem to do anything at first, but after a few minutes a new 10GB SOW update suddenly joined the Steam download queue.
If it's not listed at all, head to this page in Steam and click 'download.' Then, er, wait. You can check whether it's postively, definitely installed or not by right clicking on SOW in your Steam library, clicking properties, then DLC, and seeing if 'Middle-earth: Shadow Of War High Resolution Texture Pack" is listed or not, and if it's got a little white tick and the word 'installed' to the right of the entry. (There is thus a very really chance that a lot of people have been thinking they are playing the best possible looking version of the game even though they are not - the placebo effect can affect us all). Your copy of Shadow Of War will offer the option for 'Ultra' textures whether it's installed or not, but if the pack isn't installed, Ultra will look exactly the same as High. In any case, it's worth a check: the norm does seem to be that you have to go out and grab it.
However, a couple of RPSers reported that it was installed, despite their not having consciously done anything to make it so. Join me as I investigate whether installing ten gig of 'Ultra' textures really makes a difference to your nemesising.įirst things first: unless you specifically installed the HD texture pack yourself, you probably don't have it on your PC.

As if 65 gigabytes of PC Middle-earth: Shadow Of War weren't enough, there's also an optional extra, free 10Gb download, comprising what's officially called a 'High Resolution Texture Pack.' In other words, it in theory makes the grime, squalor and butchered viscera of Mordor that little bit more grimy, squalid and visceral butchered viscera-y. KitGuru Says: A 6GB VRAM requirement seems pretty ridiculous, especially considering very few GPUs on the market are packing that much.You may well already know this, but going on the basis that most of the RPS team weren't aware of it, let's put the word out anew. Warner Bros has yet to comment on this so it looks like we are going to have to wait for the reviews to hit to find out if the PC version of Shadow of Mordor is actually any good. However, there is also the possibility that the PC version of this game is fine and maybe this is all just a horrible mistake in wording on the game's settings pages. We've already had some reason to doubt the quality of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor's PC port as Warner Bros refused to send out PC review codes before launch day, while outlets with console copies can start publishing reviews ahead of launch this week. To make things worse, that's the recommended requirement for 1080p, rather than 4K, a resolution that you would expect to eat up that much VRAM.įlagship cards from both Nvidia and AMD currently only ship with 4GB of VRAM, with the exception of the GTX Titans and some specific custom made GTX 780 and AMD R9 290x cards.

If you want to play Shadow of Mordor on ultra then you're going to need a pretty high end card as apparently there is a 6GB VRAM requirement, meaning that users may need a very specific GPU in order to play at full detail settings. Much like Bethesda's The Evil Within, Warner Bros' upcoming game, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor will also have a high Video RAM requirement for ultra textures, a screenshot of the game's PC graphical settings has shown.
